We have covered the case of Emma Sulkowicz, the Columbia University student who vowed to carry her mattress around campus in protest of her alleged rapist who remained on campus. That alleged rapist was cleared by the University, and now is suing to clear his name.

I don’t know if Sulkowicz was lying or telling the truth. But the sharp dispute hardly makes the case comparable to what Afghan women have to go through. Beatings. Burkas. Lack of education. Executions.

She’s creating gender-prejudiced leverage through narrative tweeting… formerly narrative spinning. It’s telling that they escalated the theme from intimidation to aggression. I think its a defensive move in response to progressive rejection of the pro-choice or selective-child policy — a wicked solution to a “wicked problem”.

It might seem that Amb. Powers is acting out a charade of little meaning yet it should also be obvious that Amb. Powers has little sense of what it means to live in the real world. Unicorns and lollipops are nice in a theater siting yet exist no else where.

Powers demonstrates that she knows nothing about the treatment of women in strict Islamic areas. It’s not just cycling team training, it’s restrictions and abuse in every aspect of life, conditions the foolish woman with the mattress at Columbia has never experienced and never will.

You have to remember Powers’ position. She’s a progressive. That means anybody with half a brain knows she lies. Progressives think it’s cool. Those who are more honest already know she lies so one more example doesn’t make any difference.
The downside to being caught lying is, thus, zero.
But it there’s just one LIV out there who’s convinced, it’s a net gain for progs.
Since, as I say, everybody else already knows she lies.
